Chevy 2 front end issues

While driving the car forward, with less than 1* toe out, the front end will literally fold inwards. It toes in to the point of not being drivable. All the bushings, bolts, joint ends, etc are new. The alignment place aligned it, and that is when things started to happen. Took it back, nothing was found bad, drove it, boom, it folded up, took it back in, they set it back to where it was and it drives now. You can still see it try to fold up though. Everything is tight, new, and clean. Even their old timer said he has never seen that happen.

Anyone have any ideas?

If it matters, the car is tubbed, 4-linked with QA1 double adjustable in the rear. Ride height is almost level and not low at all.
 
There was a similar issue in Chevy High Performance magazine recently. I don't remember the solution but it was a long answer. I think it was something about the front frame rails flexing. In my opinion, for a car like that, they should cut the front end off and use a Mustang II or something similar and more modern.
